Review: Even during the short time I toyed with vegetarianism and was on a quasi-health kick (y’know, eating black beans with everything I cooked and going to health food stores to stock up on the latest super-vitamins), I never tried these natural eggs. The idea behind it is appealing. Eggs from free-range chickens that haven’t been pumped full of antibiotics and synthetic feed. While picking up some beer tonight at the grocery, I decided to give these things a whirl. The strangest thing about these eggs is not the brown color (that, my friends, is natural), but that the package says that the chickens from whence they come are vegetarians.
Howzzat?
I would like to know what kind of carnage we are infusing into the chicken feed in this country. Is it a teryaki beef satay or BBQ pork tenderloin? Does Foghorn leghorn prefer a T-Bone or is he a cannibal that enjoys a deep-fried Chicken Little? Since when do farm chickens eat meat at all?
Regardless of the dietary patterns of our fowl I enjoy eggs of all kinds on a regular basis. Since I used these eggs in a rice dish, I can’t comment on their particular flavor by itself. I will say that they cook a bit slower than the generic eggs I usually buy. They also seem to be a bit fluffier when finished and the yolks have a milder yellow hue to them. They tasted great with the rice and beans I cooked up, doused in hot sauce and the miracle spice, Old Bay. I’m not sure I will be buying these healthy alternative eggs due to the price, but I plan on trying them between two slices of toast tomorrow morning when I wake up. Speaking of waking up… it is late. good night.
